What reading level is Submerged Forests book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On first examining, or reading accounts of, deposits of this sort one obtains a vague impression of long periods, during which mighty oaks flourished. Both the movements of submergence and the intervening periods of vegetable growth seem to require great lapses of time. On closer study, how- ever, the evidence seems scarcely to support this view, for estuarine silts are deposits of exceptionally rapid gi'owth, and one finds that the usual character- istic of a " submerged forest " is that it sh...ows indica- tions of only a single generation of trees. The trees also are usually small, except where the submerged forest rests directly on deposits of much earlier date, or on solid rock.
It should be remembered that the large oak trees which are often found in the lowest land-surface at any particular place do not necessarily belong to any one special stage of the submergence. These same trees may have grown continuously above tide- marks during several successive stages, until at last the upward creeping water rose sufficiently to reach this part of the forest.
